fuel level guage problem
I have a problem with my fuel level guage on my truck. I pulled the tank and redid the entire fuel system with a regulated return system with a new pump and dual filters and everything else. when I got it all back together and started the truck everythign was working good, except teh full guage was on ful tank and I knew this was bad becouse I only put 5 gallons back in it. so I figgured I jacked up the level sender in the tank while it was apart before. I dropped the tank again tonight to try and fix it. I checked the sending unit and its working fine, but the gauge still says 'full", and that is with the tank out of the truck. I would assume that with the tank out that the gauge should read empty. Does anyone have any idea what I could look at for this? I looked at the wire bundle and it looks good. tomorrow I'll disconnect the batterys and see if it resets. The only thing I can think is that the instrument panel is bad. The guage isn't controlled by the computer is it? I need to get this fixed as I'm driving to Florida next month and am going to be extreamly busy til then.
